Vetafarm Equilax is a veterinarian-formulated digestive aid containing psyllium husk to help maintain healthy digestion in horses. Psyllium forms a gelatinous mass within the gastrointestinal tract, assisting the movement of accumulated sand and dirt through the gut.
Presented as convenient apple-flavoured pellets, Equilax does not blow away like loose psyllium powder. The extruded pellets are highly palatable and may be mixed with feed or offered directly from the hand.
